I've been running for the last year or so and working out consistently for the past month or so I think it's time to start taking things a bit more seriously and this will serve as a means to track my progress and stay accountable.

My main goals for this year will be running related, completing a race in each distance up to marathon with a specific time goals, but...

It's winter now and training outside is likely not going to happen consistently until the spring. So I will be concentrating more on strength work for the next few months. No specific goals at this time. I just want to maintain (perhaps small gain) my weight while building additional muscle and cutting out as much dead weight (fat) as I can.

Anyways I just wanted to get this started now while I had a few minutes...

I'll check back in later after today's workout

Ideally I should probably be going into the workout with a better plan as currently I just have my workouts broken down into arms, legs and core, and aside from that I really just pick exercises at random as I'm going. Most likely not the best way to be going about it...

Hope everyone else is having as great a start to 2012 as I am.

So today was a really good day. Weather was awesome and I felt good so I went for a good run outside. Pretty messy on the trail, lots of mud and ice so it was probably a little slower that I would have liked but I'm happy with my time.

Feeling pretty good all in all. Calves have been a bit tight since the run, I assume that's due to the slipping around on the ice and mud. Done my best to stretch it out, hopefully it doesn't stick around.

Haven't really been around a computer for the last few days so I haven't been able to update but I'm sure you'll all be glad to know there is now one more vegan in the world!

My son Alex was born on January 10th at 3:10am, 7lbs 6ounces. My wife and I are absolutely thrilled, he is the cutest thing we've ever seen and can't begin to describe how excited we are to begin this new chapter of your lives with him. So many adventures ahead!

Today was our first full day back at home and since my diet and sleep have been pretty pitiful over the last few days I just took today to relax and try and get back to a good starting point. Tomorrow is supposed to be a rest day according to my schedule so I might just wait and start really fresh on Saturday or I might try to squeeze something little in tomorrow. We'll see how the night goes.

I'm feeling pretty good today, energy levels are returning to where they should be. Diet has been pretty clean aside from the celebratory vegan cupcakes that my parents got for us, sooo good! I'm surprised there are as many left as there are. Sleep is still sub par, but I'm sure that's something that I'm just going to have to get used to for the time being.

Got a 30 minute run in on the treadmill tonight. Medium intensity, just needed to get up and move a bit. Kind of had to force myself to do it but I'm glad I did and I'm looking forward to getting back into my routine tomorrow.
